Colston Lo's a bad pick at cost... he's kind of priced at a ceiling. He's the tight end three on every single format... you have a 4 game sample size of great and then you have a 15 14 week sample of nothing... at this price point. I'm telling you, you you have to be 93% sure to 95% sure that he is exactly who he was in those final four weeks... Coulson Lovelin goes ahead of Zay Flowers on Yahoo, ahead of T. Higgins on ESPN... if I just took a wide receiver there or I took a running back there and then I took Tucker Craft or George KD late, you would like that team so much more.
STACKED’s take
Priced at ceiling as TE3 despite fluky four-game sample and unsustainable game script.
Priced at ceiling as tight end three across all formats despite significant downside risk. Four-game breakout sample (super Trey McBride/Brock Bowers numbers) followed by 15-week stretch of minimal production when Cole Kmet was healthy; breakout games coincided with extreme negative game script (Bears trailed 75%+ of the time in all four games), a fluky condition that inflates tight end scoring but is not sustainable. Bengals game featured worst tight end defense in multiple decades. Ranked too high in early drafts relative to positional value; goes ahead of T. Higgins on ESPN and Zay Flowers on Yahoo despite being a tight end with only four good games in his career and part-time usage. Requires 93–95% certainty he replicates final four-game production to justify draft cost. Speaker emphasizes burden of proof is massively on drafter at this price point; drafting a tight end this early is one of the biggest rookie mistakes in fantasy. Taking him in the first four rounds is a 'sexy pick' but a strategic mistake—drafting a wide receiver or running back in that spot and waiting on Tucker Kraft or George Kittle late would result in a better overall roster construction.
